TOLEDO -- There was reason for optimism in Grafton, as Midview came into their Division II Quarterfinal game Friday night against Toledo Central Catholic.

Even though the Irish were one of the top teams in Region 6 for most of the season, they were stinging from a 42-0 beat down from rival Toledo Whitmer at their home field. To top things off, Irish standout running back Amir Edwards was out with a concussion.

Those thoughts of optimism evaporated rather quickly, though, as the Irish routed the Middies 50-7.
